Over the last sixty years, millions women in the United States were prescribed estrogen, but did they know all there is to know about this powerful hormone In this groundbreaking book, Barbara Seaman traces the history of estrogen use and misuse and investigates the pharmaceutical manufacturers who pushed aside any negative findings on estrogen to insinuate their products into the lives of women, old and young. Seaman turns up essential, often shocking, information that should have been part of public awareness but, only now, is coming to light.

About the Author

Her groundbreaking investigative book, "The Doctor s Case Against the Pill" (1969), prompted Senate hearings in the 1970s that led to a warning label on oral contraceptives and the drastic lowering of estrogen doses due to dangerous health effects. Dedicated to reaching a wide audience, Seaman wrote columns for "Brides Magazine," " Ladies Home Journal," and "Ms.," inspiring women around the world to take control of their own health. Seaman was a founding advisory board member of and key advisor to Seven Stories Press."
